Windscreen Costs

KennEls · #1 04-22-2004, 04:35 AM

Just read a post in the European Forum on the cost of a replacement windscreen, read it twice and will have to take a deep breath and read again.

Price of replacement US$1750.00

If that price is reflected here, then I think that grnSVX96 idea of grey imports is a winner, even if it's only imported for windsreen replacement.

Before I check my insurance to see if I am covered, has anyone here replaced their windscreen and and at what cost.

Of the two people that I know of who have had to replace the windscreens, it costs $1900 and $2200 from memory - we have brown tinted glass, not the blue as one of them was sent (8 weeks to get that issue sorted)

Watch the stonechips!

My father had his windscreen replaced a few years back. The cost was around $1,800+. This is the reason why I have got windscreen coverage in my insurance. Cheers, Mark.

I did the same - figured the $50 extra was well worth it!
